@icedquinn Not even that. It's pretty much confirmed now that HCQ and Ivermectin are effective treatments for COVID, yet both of those require a prescription.
@icedquinn Now, let's imagine all the cures and vaccines we could have if we actually had a free market.
remind me again why the government, a non-profit public service, feels the need to seek patents to, i quote,
NIH said in a statement that its scientists created the “stabilized coronavirus spike proteins for the development of vaccines against coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2,” and the government consequently has “sought patents to preserve the government’s rights to these inventions.”
@coolboymew Long term effects are still a concern (that's why it takes at least a decade to develop a vaccine) and I don't think there's any point in taking a vaccine for a disease that has basically become endemic at this point. Delta variant has already broke through immunity (look at what's happening in Israel). I think most people are better off eating healthy and exercising to boost their immune system which is what I've been doing lately.
@coolboymew Still don't think everyone should take it.
@Moon tfw You can't get a decent job anymore without having a Linkedin.
